It really is a nice story.  Lisa is one lucky gal.  It must be quite a feeling to be up on stage as a fan.  




Mike

I would love to be at that "acoustic" show.  I will be at the show in Vancouver, BC on April thirteenth though and am really looking forward to it.




Mike   

Does anyone know what John's best selling album to date is?  How many copies of it were sold?




Mike

John has made a lot of good albums but I'll also give my vote to Uh-Huh.




Mike

John's doing great.  He'd better look out for that good Canadian kid Justin Bieber.  I'm a bit surprised by the low percentages for AC/DC and Metallica though.




Mike
 

I missed it.  Is there or has there been anything more posted from this performance?




Mike

Since we're going beyond the top 5, here are a few more I'd like to add to my list.


***Coming Down The Road (this is definitely an ode to Johnny Cash and it would be great to  hear it live)
 
Minutes To Memories
Between A laugh And A Tear
Lafayette
Johnny Hart




Mike

   

All I can say is it's an exceptionally well put together package.  I'll also admit, I don't it yet. (shame on me)  I will get it soon though. 




Mike

John is a highly respected singer/songwriter among the likes of Bob Dylan, Robert Johnson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, etc.  He'd likely be humbled and flattered that he's that highly considered.  Johnny Cash once said that Mellencamp was one of the best of his generation.

Would he (Mellencamp) rank himself up there with them?  It's doubtful that John thinks about it.  The bottom line is, his success speaks for itself.




Mike   

   

I've put my vote in for Mr. Mellencamp.




Mike

This is a private matter and we as fans and friends should take a step back and let John and Elaine work things out.  I wish them the best.




Mike 

Very well put.  You're right and so is John.  Blues is about pain and sorrow.  Swing Low Sweet Chariot is great example of that.




Mike   

My top 5:

Easter Eve
Check It Out
Small Town
Pink Houses
No Better Than this

(In no particular order)



Mike

I just watched/listened to John's version of "Delia".  It's excellent!  It would have fitted perfectly on the No Better Than This album.  I love it when a rock 'n' roll artist like John can take an old song like that and transform it into something really special.  There's so much emotion in the lyrics and way John sings it.  I really love all the acoustic stuff John's done.




Mike

With the exception of Life, Death "Live" and Freedom, John has never released an official live album or DVD.  At least nothing I can find in a retail store.  Why is that?
